Cucumber/ Sour Cream Salad

It must be my Norwegian heritage, but this salad tastes so good to me.  It is the perfect side dish.


Cucumber/ Sour Cream Salad
4-5 cucumbers, thinly sliced
3-4 radishes, thinly sliced
3 T. green onions, finely chopped
2 T. fresh dill, chopped (I actually prefer about 1 T. dried dill weed)
1 cup sour cream
2 T. mayonnaise
3 T. freshly squeezed lemon juice
2 tsp. kosher salt
3-4 T. sugar

Place the cucumber slices in a colander, resting on a bowl in the sink.  Sprinkle the salt on the cucumbers and set aside, letting the juices drain from the cucumbers.  This will take about 20 minutes to an hour or two- the longer the better to get the water off.  
In a large bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, lemon juice, and sugar.
Add the cucumbers, radishes, green onions and fresh dill and toss together.  Chill for about an hour before serving.



*Note:  All of the amounts are suggestions.  Taste it and add what you feel it needs more of.
